What do you guys do for extra income?

[doucy2]

If getting a dealer license in Ohio is anything like in PA, you'll be jumping through hoops for months. Its hard even if you have a damn car lot.

No its not too bad here at all (looked into it,) I hate PA laws they are way more restrictive than S. Ohio. This is not something I plan on doing soon, school is 1st, + I can still sell 10 cars per year before the state will make me get a license. ;)

But you know....

JGood came in nearly 3 years before Jscotty, so you gotta give respect to the elder of the two...

Yard Sales + Ebay = Profit

Also Craigslist / copart.com E36s + Ebay = Profit

Made close to $2000.00 extra income last month as a Power Seller.

And yes I report it on my taxes.

Some hole in the wall antique shops, acquaintance of mine just found multiple original Beatles albums (and others) at a shop down by the river, paid $5-7/ea turned around and sold on eBay for big $$$$

im not joining forces with that twat.

speaking of giving respect to your elders, notice how i haven't bashed on you for a few hours blunt? i don't want you to get all fired up and start beating up people at your retirement home.

[Jscotty]

yes, i wouldnt mind looking down at you as you gag and choke on my genetals (sic) right before i pull out and spackle your eyes shut.

Well honestly, I have nothing against homosexuals. I mean if that's the kind of thing that you like, then far be it from me to judge you. And I admit that I can be homophobic at times but for the most part I have learned to accept those who are different from me. Even when a homo approaches me offering oral, I don't get offended as much as I used to. I guess that comes with being a pretty boy. :)

So for those of you who have started your own business,

What keeps you motivated.... or at least what keeps you as motivated as you were when you first started the business. What techniques do you use to keep yourself motivated. Because once you lose the motivation, then all hell breaks loose and it falls apart.

My passion for what I do keeps me motivated. Liking what I do has a lot to do with me wanting to get out of bed in the morning. Also, I set goals on a monthly basis so if for some reason I lose sight of what I am working towards, all I have to do is concentrate on reaching my goal.

For instance I want to retire at 45 so I have mapped out the amount of money I need to earn, the amount of money that I need to save, and the amount of money that I want my business to produce on a monthly basis. I keep telling myself that as long as I meet those goals on a monthy basis, I don't have to do anything else if I don't want to. So sometimes I have days where I let my crew go home early or I might buy everyone lunch or we may sit around the office and goof off for the rest of the day which is fun to do AFTER I have reached my goals and now I have an opportunity to break up the monotony.

I'm kind of the all around handy man for a bunch of my dad's friends and their friends. I just got paid $60 to diagnose why this guys riding lawnmower wasn't starting. All it needed was a new starter.

I also do other stuff, like completely I rewired a friend's boat, did some machining for someone else. Pretty much anything that needs to be done.

I learned early on that anyone who can work with their hands will NEVER be broke. I am fortunate that I was forced to work around the house and work on the car during the weekends with my dad. Also, the best advice that anyone ever gave me was to learn a trade. Even if you don't like that particular trade or if you end up doing something else, that can be the foundational basis for being skilled with your hands.

Reading that made me realize that they need to bring shop class back into the educational system in America. Its great that you can come out of high school knowing how to build a website but if you can't assemble the computer desk or improvise the assembly when you break one of the parts, then you will be building your website while sitting on the floor.

A lot of my friends and other people that I know are not very good with the use of their hands. Sometimes I hate the fact that I gotta bail them out of their mishaps because I am the only one amongst us who is mechanically inclined.

Nothin' on mot, but I can't even spell because I'm laughing at this...............
